If they wanted you educated in mathematics, they'd start by saying it's not a science, but a language and it's not about solving problems, but further developing your ability to evaluate by comparison, which is our mind's main method of evaluation....it's actually the only one, our ability to think is entirely based on it and math is just that - evaluation by comparison, it's where learning begins. So instead of teaching you how to further develop your thinking, they shove these dogmatic formulas in your face and frame your mind, essentially hindering your ability to learn, so they can spoon feed you their bullshit. Took me ten years to get over school and actually start educating myself.
